Charter for Working Group

The NETCONF Working Group, previously named after the NETCONF protocol, now renamed as the NETwork CONFiguration Working Group, is responsible for the development and maintenance of protocols such as NETCONF and RESTCONF for YANG data model-driven management (for the purposes of, for example, configuration, monitoring, telemetry, and zero-touch), their transports and encodings, defining data models necessary to support the protocols, and defining mechanisms supporting the operational deployment of systems using the protocols.

e) The data models for subscriptions to data, and protocol bindings for pushing subscribed data to clients, for the purpose of monitoring and telemetry.

f) The mechanisms enabling devices zero-touch provisioning and the related call home functions.

The NETCONF working group consults with the NETMOD working group to ensure that new requirements are understood and can be met by the YANG data modeling language (RFC 7950) developed within that working group.
